We hope you enjoy this Norgren Essentials Guide. And there s one essential thing to remember: when you need it fast, Norgren Express makes it easier and quicker for you to get the job done. FRLs with an added component If you think an FRL comprises three elements Filter, Regulator and Lubricator there s one thing you ve overlooked. An NFRL will do the same job but even more effectively. The N stands for Norgren, and that s the extra component which makes all the difference. It guarantees the highest levels of performance, quality, value and energy-efficiency, all based on more than 80 years experience in air preparation. So a Norgren FRL promises: More effective filtering of moisture content and other impurities More constant delivery of the correct air pressure Continuous delivery of an adequate flow of lubricant The result is a constant flow of high-quality air, to help decrease downtime, reduce wear and tear on your tools or other equipment, and increase their working life. You can find out more about the Norgren Excelon Pro FRL on page 7 of this issue, and the Norgren Olympian Plus FRL on page 11. Air preparation tips from Norgren Express. Over 80 years experience on your side. Be prep-air-ed Fill a standard Oil-Fog lubricator under pressure, without having to switch off the upstream air. When a fill plug is removed, a check valve in the lubricator body isolates the inlet pressure from the bowl, and the reservoir will depressurise so the lubricator can be filled with oil. When you replace the fill plug the reservoir will automatically re-pressurise. However a standard Micro-Fog unit cannot be filled without exhausting the upstream pressure, unless a remote fill or quick fill nipple accessory is fitted. Never remove the fill plug of a Micro-Fog lubricator while it is under pressure. If in doubt, Norgren engineers recommend shutting off the upstream air.

Over 80 years experience on your side. Be prep-air-ed The visual warning provided by the colour change of a vapour removal carbon pack can tell you more than just that the vapour removal filter needs replacing. 10 You can order now For quick delivery from store.norgren.com When the white ring around the base of the carbon pack turns blue (or pink in older units) it is a sign that the media can no longer adsorb oil vapours, and they are passing through the element. When this happens, the vapour removal filter needs to be replaced as soon as possible. However, if the colour change occurs soon after the filter has been installed, it may be indicating that the coalescing filter needs to be serviced: which involves replacing the element and fitting new seals. Or alternatively, the colour change could be a sign of problems in the compressor. This visual warning is a useful additional monitor of the status of your airline, but it should never take the place of scheduled maintenance.

12 13 Avoid cracking up. Norgren Stainless Steel products. Some of the environments in which airline equipment is expected to work are not just difficult: they re positively hostile. Others are not just clean, but spotless, and the airline equipment used within them has to be the same. In both cases, the solution is Norgren Stainless Steel airline products.

14 15 As free as air? Air may be free, but compressed air isn t. In fact, it can be 10 times as expensive as electricity when you take into account all the generation, transmission, treatment and system costs. So it s essential to make sure the compressed air you use is as cost-effective as it can be. When air leaves a compressor it is hot, dirty and wet and also usually at a higher pressure than required by the equipment downstream. How dirty and how wet? A typical 50 dm 3 /sec (100 scfm) compressor will push 4,500 litres of water and 8 litres of degraded compressor oil into the airline system in a year, not to mention countless particles of dirt. If any of that gets into the equipment being powered, it will make it run less efficiently, work less effectively, and wear out or break down much sooner. So compressed air must be thoroughly treated to remove contaminants and reduce the pressure, and also often needs clean oil added to lubricate the equipment it is powering. Cleaning the air Liquid water, water vapour, solid particles and oil all need to be removed from the air when it leaves the compressor. Water vapour originates at the compressor outlet but as the air cools it also turns to liquid and needs to be removed in both forms. Solid particles can get into the air from the atmosphere, corrosion or carbon products, or from the mechanical fixing of the metal pipe work and system components. Some equipment such as air bearings and miniature pneumatic motors will need very fine filtration to remove them. Oil is present in liquid, aerosol and vapour forms. Using oil-free compressors is an option, but otherwise standard filters, coalescing filters and vapour removal filters may be required. Some applications can operate with a certain amount of oil vapour or aerosol contamination, and Norgren can advise on your best options. Additional downstream filters can then clean the air further for specific use in particular parts of the plant or the process. Controlling the pressure Using pneumatic equipment at a higher pressure than specified causes excessive wear, with no significant increase in output. At the same time the compressed air and the energy used to generate it are wasted. The cost-saving solution is a pressure reducing valve or a regulator (general purpose, pilot operated, precision, or special purpose), which keeps the outlet pressure constant irrespective of inlet pressure and outlet flow. Adding lubrication Finally, a suitable amount of lubricant has to be added, to reduce resistance and wear in the operating equipment. Norgren invented the aerosol lubricator the most commonly used but also offers the injection pump type, and can advise on the most appropriate for your equipment and application. All the knowledge, all the products As the world leader in air preparation Norgren has unrivalled knowledge of the best ways for you to produce clean compressed air, and to use it economically, effectively and safely. And wherever you need compressed air whether in a simple factory installation, a complex medical application or something in-between Norgren has the products to meet your needs.

16 17 Have you got the PUWER? If you are an employer or a self-employed person, then the equipment you provide for your employees, or that you have control of, is covered by the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (or 1999 in Northern Ireland). Fortunately, Norgren products can help you to comply. As well as general points such as making sure the equipment is suitable, safe, and used only by trained people, PUWER specifically covers the uses of the equipment, such as starting or stopping it, repairing, modifying or maintaining it, and servicing, cleaning and transporting it. It s up to you to make sure that the equipment is: Muitable for use and for the purpose and conditions in which it is used Maintained in a safe condition for use so that people s health and safety is not at risk Inspected in certain circumstances to ensure it is, and continues to be, safe for use. Any inspection should be carried out by a competent person and a record kept until the next inspection. 162 Age is no excuse Just because a piece of equipment is old (pre-puwer regulations) doesn t mean it s exempt from the regulations. You still have to make sure it meets all the PUWER requirements. However, that doesn t necessarily mean you have to go to the trouble and expense of replacing it with an entirely new piece of machinery. For example, Norgren Excelon Modular soft start/dump valves can be used to make machinery compliant in terms of starting and stopping. These valves provide a controlled increase of downstream pressure on start up, as well as a high Technical data Medium Maximum operating pressure Compressed air Soft Start/Dump Valves Excelon 74 Series forward flow capacity and a high flow dump facility.
